Buying organic makes sense for the health of the earth, farm workers and your family … But if you’re pinching pennies (and who isn’t these days?), choose from this list to avoid pesticide residue.

So these are the 15

1. Onion - Less pest threat = less pesticides.
2. Avocado – Think skins = less pesticide build up.
3. Sweet Corn – Unlikely to end up with any pesticides on kernels.
4. Pineapple – Tough skin protects form pesticide residue.
5. Mango – Flesh protected by thick skin.
6. Asparagus -  Less pest threat = less pesticides.
7. Sweet Peas - Sweet peas are among the least likely vegetables to have pesticide residue.
8. Kiwi – The peel provides a barrier from pesticides, but wash before cutting.
9. Cabbage - Less pest threat = less pesticides.
10. Aubergine/Eggplant - Think skins = less pesticide build up.
11. Papaya - Pesticide residue stays on papaya skin, but be sure to give them a wash before slicing open.
12. Watermelon - With that rind, watermelon has a natural defense against the onslaught of any chemical.
13. Broccoli - Conventional broccoli doesn’t retain so many pesticides because the crop faces fewer pest threats, which means less spraying.
14. Tomato – Not sure why!
15. Sweet Potato - Not only are sweet potatoes unlikely to be contaminated with pesticides
